Forward Guidance

Positive Outlook

- Engineered wood products sales volumes are expected to be higher with comparable sales realizations.
- For lumber, the company expects moderately higher log costs and slightly lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved unit manufacturing costs.
- The company expects modestly higher sales volumes for oriented strand board, partially offset by moderately higher fiber costs.
- In the South, the company expects comparable sales realizations and seasonally lower forestry and road costs.
Challenges Ahead
- Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the third quarter due to lower real estate sales.
- Sales volumes were significantly lower than the third quarter for lumber and slightly lower for oriented strand board, largely due to weather-related transportation challenges in Canada.
